A novel skin-type fatty acid-binding protein. termed cutaneous(C) FABP, has been purified froa rat skin and a cDNAclone for this protein has been identified. The purified protein had the ability to bind long chain fatty acids like other rat FABPs. The deduced -ino acid sequence of the cDNAclone cmprises residues yielding a qolecular aasa for the palypeptide of 15.1 kDa and exhibits around 50 % identity to nyelin P2 protein. adipacyte FABPand heart FABP.

The presence and locafization of sprl protein in normal human skin and diseased skin have been demonstrated using ImmunoMot and lmmunohlstochemical staining. A polycfonai antlbody was raised against a synthetic peptfde at the C terminal region of the spri molecule. im&noblot~anaiysls of normal human epidermis revealed that the eokiermis contains a 18 kDa immunoreactive WOtein. in normal skin, the s&g staining was observed in the uppermost i few living ceil layers of epldermls and was obvious in the membrane and the cytoplasm. in psoriatic skin, stalned keratinocytes were distributed in the living ceil layers except basal layer. in squamous ceil carcinoma, the staining was weak In keratotfc cells around horny pearis.
